Summary

'You're gonna be just fine,' Steve said, close enough that Bucky could feel his breath. 'Maybe I'll try to enlist again, join you—'

'Don't kid about that,' Bucky said, even tho he knew Steve wasn't really. He'd tried to enlist once before Bucky had been drafted, and a few times after that. 'Don't do anything stupid until I get back.'

'You're taking all the stupid with you,' Steve grumbled. He straightened Bucky's tie, and kissed him once again. Bucky tried to memorize how it felt; it was over too quickly.

'I love you,' Steve said. Bucky tried to echo it back, but his throat was filled with glass. Bucky's father said I love you to his wife with such ease; Bucky was perverted enough to love Steve but he wasn't even enough of a man to be decent and honest about it. Bucky tried to speak, but he couldn't. If he opened his mouth, he was sure he'd start sobbing. Steve didn't seem to mind that Bucky couldn't find his voice.

Summary

Cheery young aide Elle Andersen has a natural propensity for care and comfort, making her an ideal compatriot for Captain America, Sergeant James "Bucky" Barnes, and the rest of the ineffable Howling Commandos. Rated M for language, violence. I do not own Marvel characters, situations, or dialogue.

Summary

To escape tension on Earth, T'Challa ships the exvengers off to Asgard to stay with Thor instead. Needless to say they were not quite prepared for their reception. Every God there treats them as little children that have done something very disappointing and what was almost worse was Loki's taunting about the frankly still very painful situation. All of this is made just infinitely worse when Tony finally shows up... not for them but to discuss Accords things with Thor and Odin.

Summary

"Christmas is Steve's favorite holiday." Bucky said brightly, as if that explained anything. "His absolute favorite holiday. Every year back in Brooklyn, he'd drag me to Mass, but then we'd go to Rockefeller Center and see the ice skaters, and go walk down Fifth Avenue and see all the decorations. Even though his lungs were never good in the cold, he loved walking around the city at Christmas time. And he and Natasha will be back on the twenty fourth! In time for Christmas! But we've got a couple of weeks yet. If we hurry, we- you are going to help me, right?"

"We don't even celebrate Christmas in Wakanda, Bucky! WHAT are we doing!?" she half shouted even as a delightfully exasperated smile tickled both her face and her voice.

"Christmas!" Bucky said with a grin of his own. "Cookies and hot chocolate and popcorn strings and presents and… Christmas, Shuri! Christmas!"

Summary

After Civil War, things weren't okay; Rhodey paralyzed, the Avengers split, and he was all alone. It was time to right the wrongs and Tony knew he had to do it. He'd run the numbers and did all the tests, there was only one way to fix all of his mistakes; to keep the Avengers together and to stop the Civil War altogether. Iron Man had to be taken out of the equation. And Tony knew just the Doctor who could help him pull it off.

Summary

The Avengers use the Time Stone to change the past, stopping Thanos from ever acquiring the infinity stones. It changes everything. The past, the future, and who they are. This is not that story. This is how they find Steve.
